UISegmentedControl in the Navigation Bar with the Back button

Question

I\'m adding a UISegmentedControl to the Navigation bar programatically where the titleView should be. But as Apple docs have mentioned under titl

Answer 1

Try this

Remove this line --- > self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil;

Add this instead

UISegmentedControl *statFilter = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"Filter_Personnal", @"Filter_Department", @"Filter_Company", nil]];
[statFilter setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
[statFilter sizeToFit];
self.navigationItem.titleView = statFilter;

Only change is I have added this line :

[statFilter sizeToFit];

Hope this Helps !!!

You can create a UIBarButtonItem with a custom view which could potentially be your UISegmentedControl.

Something along the lines of the following may work.

//create segmented control with items
UISegmentedControl *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"One", @"Two", nil]];

//create bar button item with segmented control as custom view
UIBarButtonItem *barButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:segmentedControl];

//add segmented control bar button item to navigation bar
[[[self navigationController] navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:barButtonItem];

I haven't tested this but it should be along the right lines of what you need.
